My heart went skip! I was afraid she'd died! And then I thought what a sad comment it is that the world so usually waits until death to appreciate a life.

Thank you for a more timely appreciation of a woman who deserves all our praise and thanks.

And goodness. That piece is hilarious, but are we sure it wasn't written with tongue in cheek? To me it seems too acid a satire. It doesn't feel as though a man could have written it. Surely no man could have written this. The man who'd want to couldn't have done it! Or if he could, he wouldn't have put these tips, tricks and truths of his so baldly. The man whose idea of a proper earthly paradise this piece describes (and who is in consequence, probably, unmarried) could not have made such delicious work of it.

It feels like a woman's work to me. And what work: every choice word a sharp skewer, perfectly puncturing the unspoken attitudes of the men who've made her roll her eyes all her live-long days!

I could be wrong, I suppose. Men back then were certainly crafty enough. But it seems as though the writer of this was in on the joke, and it doesn't seem the sort of thing a man would joke about. The humor is too perfectly, transparently sick.
